The club had 4 juveniles representing the club in the Leinster qualifiers at the end of April. Ben & Cillian Moore, Colm & Ronan Garret fished Lough Lene in Collinstown, Co Westmeath and with 8 fish Cillian was just pipped into 5th place. Well done Cillian. Best wishes from all the club go to Ben Moore who is fishing for the Irish team in the forthcoming international being held in Loch Menteith, Scotland in July. Finally all the best and tight lines to our 3 senior members; Ger Walsh, John Gallagher, Brian Gildea who will be representing Leinster in this year's Irish nationals.
